Product Description
Review
"This is a terrific, wide-ranging, and convincing comparative study. It provides the big picture, analyzing the garment industry and particularly 'ready-to-wear' from the point of view of economic, social, cultural, political, and gender history. Ready-to-Wear and Ready-to-Work provides a much-needed synthesis which is all the bolder for the original research on which it is built." - John Merriman, Yale University "Nancy Green consistently challenges the narratives and categories by which labor historians, sociologists, economists, and journalists have addressed the history of urban garment production. Green's analysis is a tour de force." - Donald Reid, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
